Re: Safety

@Zoe7 I cant have my shower yet. I cant ignore the appointment because it is super important they already nearly took me to hospital last time and that was because they didnt know anything now if they know they will know that i know. and then they will know that i know that they know that i know and then they will try and hurt me because everyone at the hospital works for S and S is trying to hurt me and they cant hurt me because if they hurt me then S gets both the souls and they cant have that or they will use them to destroy the earth and so i have to hurt me otherwise they wont both get a soul nd it all will balance out but i cant stop thinking about it i really dont know what to do.

You definitely seem to be stuck in a difficult position. I don't have any answers for you here either @Eden1919 and my meds are starting to make me sleepy. I will stick with you as long as I can but if I suddenly disappear you will know I have fallen asleep.

@Former-Member are you able to step in here to help out?

@Eden1919 I can see that you are feeling scared and doing it tough tonight. Often when our thoughts are outside of our control it can be helpful to focus on what you can control such as looking to reduce your anxiety. One way that can be effective is through sensory modulation. Sit on the floor and wrap yourself tighly with a blanket around your shoulders. By applying pressure it can assist to regulate your sensory input and reduce anxiety.

It can also be helpful to write down things that are worrying you and fold it up and place it somewhere safe. This may provide you mental space to focus on what you can control.

If we think about moving you from where you are now to a space where you feel safe - visualise this as a hop scotch grid on the floor, what is it that you think you could do to help you move to the first square?

Okay, one step at a time

For the next minute, clap your hands to the beat of four breathing in and then out for four
